But,
here have a question:

The phy0 killswitch didn't set to hard blocked, did wireless LAN still
can be used at this moment? even hardware switch is off?

Hello Joey,

i tested again:

First with acer-wmi inserted (as always boot-state of wifi button is on):

switching to off "rfkill list" is:

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes
6: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

(phy0-hard blocked goes to "yes" after 1 or 2 seconds, maybe yesterday i didn't wait long enough). Wifi doesn't work in this state, i checked.

Switching to on "rfkill list" is:

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
6: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
7: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

Wifi now works!

After removing acer-wmi (so i loaded it only for initialisation), switching to off "rfkill list" is:

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: yes

Back to on:

1: phy0: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no
5: hci0: Bluetooth
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no


wifi works in state "on"- so acer-wmi is really needed only for initialisation.
ideapad-laptop is _not_ loaded, the wifi switch works correctly nonetheless.

I thought the real situation back to BT on, Wireless on, right?

yes, after switching to on everything is back to state after initialisation (wifi works).


regards
